 Replying to [comment:24 PaulGregory]:
 > Me too. But not lancewillet, who filed bug #17979 "Avoid losing widgets
 when switching themes", which is how we got into this mess.

 It's my understanding that the terminology being used is the problem. I
 think lancewillet was specifically referring to widget's sidebar
 'assignments' being lost and not actually losing widgets to the "inactive"
 box.

 I think this concept may just need to be clearly spelled out for users of
 3.3 then revisted in 3.4 as jane previously suggested.
